    I am new to the site AND to the phone... I have the 8130... I have ben trying to download a new theme but I am having problems. I searched with the browser and found one I liked, I clicked on it and it said it couldn't run, I had to save it to my memory card but when I went in later to open it and use that theme - It wasn't there... I downloaded the CD's that come with the phone on to my computer. Then i searched for the theme on my computers browser... I found the one I wanted and saved it then I tried to use the BB desktop manager to add the theme, but it also says it can not be read. I followed the steps its says to open zipped files but nothing is working. I am really dumb when it comes to this kind of stuff even if it is super simple... anyone got some simple way to fix this? The theme i want is a free theme but is not offered as an OTA... please help!

    You need to put your OS on your computer. It does not come with desktop manager.

    Cause its awesome. Go to options/ about to find the os on your phone. OS is short for operating system
